Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Dichtungsstrang zur Bildung einer Dichtung an einer Fahrzeugkarosserie, insbesondere zur Abdichtung einer Fahrzeugfensterscheibe an einem Fensterschacht, wobei der Dichtungsstrang über U-Schenkel eines im Querschnitt U-förmigen Befestigungsabschnitts mit einem in Stranglängsrichtung verlaufenden Flansch an der Fahrzeugkarosserie verklemmbar ist, der Befestigungsabschnitt eine U-förmige, in das Material des Befestigungsabschnitts eingebettete Verstärkungseinlage aufweist und in wenigstens einem vorgegebenen Längenabschnitt des Dichtungsstrangs, der einem Längenabschnitt des Flansches mit verringerter Flanschdicke entspricht, die Klemmweite zwischen den U-Schenkeln verringert ist.The invention relates to a sealing strip for forming a seal on a vehicle body, in particular for sealing a vehicle window pane on a window slot, wherein the sealing strip can be clamped via U-legs of a U-shaped fastening section with a flange extending in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body, the attachment portion a U-shaped, embedded in the material of the fastening portion reinforcing insert and in at least a predetermined length of the sealing strip, which corresponds to a longitudinal portion of the flange with a reduced flange thickness, the clamping distance between the U-legs is reduced.

Zur Verklemmung mit Dichtungssträngen vorgesehene Flansche an Fahrzeugkarosserien sind überwiegend aus mehreren, ggf. miteinander verbundenen Blechlagen gebildet. Je nach Karosseriekonstruktion kann ein solcher Karosserieflansch jedoch wenigstens einen Längenabschnitt aufweisen, in dem zumindest eine dieser Blechlagen entfällt und die Flanschdicke dementsprechend reduziert ist. Die Stabilität der Klemmverbindung zwischen einem extrudierten Dichtungsstrang, der einen über seine gesamte Länge gleichbleibenden Querschnitt aufweist, kann in solchen Längenabschnitten reduzierter Flanschdicke daher erheblich beeinträchtigt sein. Dem wird z.B. durch plastische Verformung des Dichtungsstrangs in den betreffenden Längenabschnitten unter Verringerung des Abstandes zwischen den U-Schenkeln entgegengewirkt.For clamping with sealing strands provided flanges on vehicle bodies are mainly formed of several, possibly interconnected metal layers. Depending on the body construction, however, such a body flange may have at least one longitudinal section in which at least one of these metal layers is omitted and the flange thickness is correspondingly reduced. The stability of the clamping connection between an extruded sealing strip, which has a constant over its entire length cross-section, can therefore be significantly affected in such lengths of reduced flange thickness. This is counteracted, for example, by plastic deformation of the sealing strip in the relevant lengths while reducing the distance between the U-legs.

Die DE 34 00 038 A1 und die US 5 085 006 A beschreiben jeweils Dichtungsstränge der eingangs erwähnten Art, bei denen eine Verringerung der Klemmweite in Längenabschnitten des Flansches mit verringerter Flanschdicke dadurch erreicht wird, dass nach innen von den U-Schenkeln des U-förmigen Dichtungsabschnitts abstehende Klemmlippen verlängert sind.The DE 34 00 038 A1 and the US 5 085 006 A describe each seal strands of the type mentioned, in which a reduction in the clamping width in longitudinal sections of the flange with reduced flange thickness is achieved in that inwardly projecting from the U-legs of the U-shaped sealing portion clamping lips are extended.

Die DE 690 10 934 T2 beschreibt einen Dichtungsstrang mit einem U-förmigen Befestigungsabschnitt, der eine nach innen freiliegende Lage aus Blech aufweist und der über Klemmvorsprünge bildende Einformungen klemmend an einem Karosserieflansch anliegt.The DE 690 10 934 T2 describes a sealing strip with a U-shaped mounting portion, which has an inwardly exposed layer of sheet metal and the clamping projections via projections formed clamped against a body flange.

Aus WO 2016/121426 A1 ist ein Herstellungsverfahren für einen Dichtungsstrang mit einem im Querschnitt U-förmigen Befestigungsabschnitt bekannt, wobei ein Schenkel des Befestigungsabschnitts in einem Längsabschnitt des Dichtungsstrangs in Richtung eines gegenüberliegenden Schenkels dauerhaft verformt wird.Out WO 2016/121426 A1 is a manufacturing method for a sealing strip with a cross-sectionally U-shaped mounting portion known, wherein a leg of the fastening portion is permanently deformed in a longitudinal portion of the sealing strip in the direction of an opposite leg.

DE 39 25 039 A1 offenbart eine Dichtleiste zur Anordnung auf einem Flansch. DE 39 25 039 A1 discloses a sealing strip for placement on a flange.

Durch die Erfindung wird ein neuer Dichtungsstrang der eingangs genannten Art geschaffen, der dadurch gekennzeichnet ist, dass die Einformung durch einen eine Lasche in dem U-Schenkel bildenden Einschnitt und Abbiegung der Lasche nach innen gebildet ist, so dass die Lasche zu dem anderen U-Schenkel hin vorsteht, oder die Einformung durch zwei vorzugsweise parallele, im Abstand zueinander angeordnete Einschnitte in den U-Schenkel und durch Eindrücken eines Bereichs zwischen den Einschnitten nach innen gebildet ist oder die Einformung durch eine in den U-Schenkel eingebrachte Einprägung gebildet ist. Vorteilhaft wird in letzterem Fall die dauerhaft verformte Verstärkungseinlage nicht freigelegt, so dass keinerlei Korrosionsgefahr besteht.The invention provides a new sealing strip of the aforementioned type, which is characterized in that the indentation is formed by a lug forming a tab in the U-leg incision and bending the tab inwards, so that the tab to the other U Leg protrudes, or the indentation is formed by two preferably parallel, spaced-apart incisions in the U-leg and by pressing a portion between the incisions inward or the indentation is formed by an introduced into the U-leg indentation. Advantageously, the permanently deformed reinforcing insert is not exposed in the latter case, so that there is no risk of corrosion.

Die Klemmweite ist dabei innerhalb des Längenabschnitts nur durch in Stranglängsrichtung lokale Einformungen von wenigstens einem der U-Schenkel gebildet und die Außenkontur des Querschnitts des Dichtungsstrangs nur durch die lokale Einformung verändert.The clamping width is formed within the length section only by strand longitudinal local formations of at least one of the U-legs and changed the outer contour of the cross section of the sealing strip only by the local indentation.

Vorteilhaft lässt sich durch diese Erfindungslösung eine Minderung der Klemmkraft zwischen Dichtungsstrang und Flansch in Abschnitten verringerter Flanschdicke ohne nennenswerte Änderung der äußeren Form des Dichtungsstrangs in dem betreffenden Längenabschnitt ausgleichen.This invention solution advantageously makes it possible to compensate for a reduction in the clamping force between the sealing strip and the flange in sections of reduced flange thickness without any significant change in the outer shape of the sealing strip in the respective longitudinal section.

Bei dem Dichtungsstrang handelt es sich um einen extrudierten Dichtungsstrang mit einer in Stranglängsrichtung, ggf. bis auf die lokale Einbuchtung, gleichbleibenden Querschnittsfläche.The sealing strip is an extruded sealing strand with a cross-sectional area which is constant in the longitudinal direction of the strand, possibly down to the local indentation.

Der U-förmige Befestigungsabschnitt weist eine Verstärkungseinlage in U-Form aus durchgehendem, in die U-Form gebogenem Blech auf.The U-shaped mounting portion has a reinforcing insert in U-shape from continuous, bent into the U-shape sheet metal.

Durch die die lokale Verringerung bildende Einformung des U-Schenkels ist das Blech der Verstärkungseinlage dauerhaft verformt.Due to the local reduction forming indentation of the U-leg, the plate of the reinforcing insert is permanently deformed.

In einer zu den vorangehenden Ausführungsformen alternativen Ausführungsform ist die Verringerung der Klemmweite durch Materialauftrag auf die Innenseite von wenigstens einem der U-Schenkel gebildet.In an alternative embodiment to the preceding embodiments, the reduction of the clamping width is formed by material application on the inside of at least one of the U-legs.

Eine Materialbeaufschlagung kann sich alternativ über die gesamte Länge des genannten Längenabschnitts erstrecken und z.B. durch einen mit dem U-Schenkel innenseitig verbundenen Materialstreifen gebildet sein.A material application may alternatively extend over the entire length of said length section and e.g. be formed by a material strip connected on the inside with the U-leg.

Es versteht sich, dass die Einformung vorzugsweise denjenigen U-Schenkel betrifft, der sich bei Wegfall einer Blechlage des Flansches im Abstand zu der verbliebenen Blechlage befindet. Somit kommt es am Übergang zu dem betreffenden Längenabschnitt nicht zu einem Versatz oder/und einer Verdrehung des Dichtungsstrangs. Verbleibt nur eine mittlere Blechlage von drei Blechlagen, so kommt für beide U-Schenkel eine Einformung in Betracht.It is understood that the indentation preferably relates to those U-legs, which is located in the absence of a sheet metal layer of the flange at a distance from the remaining sheet metal layer. Thus, there is no offset or / and twisting of the sealing strip at the transition to the relevant length section. Remains only a middle sheet metal layer of three layers of sheet metal, so comes for both U-leg indentation into consideration.

further embodiments of sealing strands according to the invention.

Eine Fensterscheibe 1 ist an einem Fensterscheibenschacht 2 einer Fahrzeugkarosserie 3 durch einen annähernd geraden Dichtungsstrang 4 abgedichtet. Der vorzugsweise extrudierte Dichtungsstrang kann z.B. aus EPDM oder einem Thermoplast hergestellt sein.A window pane 1 is sealed to a window pane 2 of a vehicle body 3 by an approximately straight sealing strip 4. The preferably extruded sealing strip may be made of EPDM or a thermoplastic, for example.

Gemäß Querschnittsdarstellung von Fig. 2 weist der Dichtungsstrang 4 einen U-förmigen Befestigungsabschnitt 5 mit U-Schenkeln 6 und 7 und einer metallischen Verstärkungseinlage 8 in U-Form auf. Von dem U-Schenkel 6 stehen Dichtungslippen 9 und 10 ab.According to cross-sectional representation of Fig. 2 For example, the sealing strip 4 has a U-shaped fastening section 5 with U-legs 6 and 7 and a metallic reinforcing insert 8 in U-shape. From the U-leg 6 are sealing lips 9 and 10 from.

Wie Fig. 2 ferner erkennen lässt, ist der Dichtungsstrang 4 mit seinem U-förmigen Befestigungsabschnitt 5 auf einen aus Blechlagen 11 und 12 gebildeten (in Fig. 1 nicht sichtbaren) Flansch der Karosserie 3 aufgesteckt.As Fig. 2 can be seen, the sealing strip 4 is formed with its U-shaped mounting portion 5 on a sheet metal layers 11 and 12 (in Fig. 1 not visible) flange of the body 3 attached.

Jeweils in Endabschnitten 20,20' des in Fig. 1 als Beispiel gezeigten Dichtungsstrangs 4 ist die Dicke des Karosserieflansches verringert, indem den Karosserieflansch in diesen Endabschnitten nur noch die Blechlage 12 bildet. Nachteilig ist in den Endabschnitten 20,20' die Verbindung zwischen dem Dichtungsstrang 4 und dem Karosserieflansch infolge unangepasster Klemmweite des Befestigungsabschnitts 5 instabil. Insbesondere lässt sich der Dichtungsstrang 4 gemäß Pfeil 13 verkippen, wie dies aus Fig. 3 hervorgeht.In each case in end sections 20,20 'of the in Fig. 1 sealing strip 4 shown as an example, the thickness of the body flange is reduced by the body flange forms only the sheet metal layer 12 in these end portions. A disadvantage is the connection between the sealing strip 4 and the body flange due to unadjusted clamping width of the mounting portion 5 unstable in the end portions 20,20 '. In particular, the sealing strip 4 can tilt according to arrow 13, as can be seen from Fig. 3 evident.

Fig. 4 und 5 zeigen ein erstes, dieses Problem lösendes Ausführungsbeispiel für einen Dichtungsstrang. Der Dichtungsstrang weist in den betreffenden Endabschnitten lokale, die Klemmweite der U-Schenkel 6,7 verringernde Einformungen auf. In Stranglängsrichtung jeweils über eine Länge I ist der U-Schenkel 6 einschließlich der Verstärkungseinlage 8 an mehreren Stellen laschenartig eingeschnitten und die durch den Einschnitt 14 gebildete Lasche 17 nach innen abgebogen. In dem gezeigten Beispiel besteht die Verstärkungseinlage 8 aus Aluminium, dessen Freilegung durch die Einschnitte 14 keine nennenswerten Korrosionsprobleme verursacht. 4 and 5 show a first, this problem-solving embodiment of a sealing strip. The sealing strip has in the respective end portions local, the clamping width of the U-legs 6.7 reducing depressions. In strand longitudinal direction over a respective length I, the U-leg 6, including the reinforcing insert 8, is lash-like cut at several points and the lug 17 formed by the cut 14 is bent inward. In the example shown, the reinforcing insert 8 made of aluminum, the exposure caused by the cuts 14 no significant corrosion problems.

In einer in Fig. 6 gezeigten Ausführungsform sind in dem U-Schenkel 6 jeweils zwei, zueinander parallele Einschnitte 15 und 16 gebildet, und der Bereich zwischen den Einschnitten 15,16 ist unter Bildung einer gegen den U-Schenkel 7 bügelartig vorstehenden Einbuchtung 19 eingedrückt. Auch in dem Ausführungsbeispiel von Fig. 6 besteht die Verstärkungseinlage 8 aus Aluminium.In an in Fig. 6 In the embodiment shown, two parallel incisions 15 and 16 are formed in the U-leg 6, and the area between the incisions 15, 16 is pressed to form a bow 19 which protrudes like a bow against the U-leg 7. Also in the embodiment of Fig. 6 the reinforcing insert 8 is made of aluminum.

Ein in Fig. 7 gezeigtes Ausführungsbeispiel weist keine Einschnitte sondern lediglich lokale Einprägungen 18 auf, durch welche die Klemmweite zwischen den U-Schenkeln 6 und 7 lokal verringert und an die verringerte Dicke des Karosserieflanschs angepasst ist.An in Fig. 7 shown embodiment has no cuts but only local indentations 18, through which the clamping distance between the U-legs 6 and 7 locally reduced and adapted to the reduced thickness of the body flange.

In allen beschriebenen Fällen bleibt im Bereich der nur lokalen Einformungen des Dichtungsstrangs dessen Querschnittsaußenkontur in der Hauptsache erhalten. Die Klemmweite verringerte Einformungen sind in den gezeigten Ausführungsbeispielen in dem U-Schenkel 6 gebildet, welcher außerhalb der Endabschnitte 20,20' an die Blechlage 11 angrenzt. Vorteilhaft kommt es am Übergang zu den Endabschnitten 20,20' daher nicht zu einem Versatz des Dichtungsstrangs quer zur Stranglängsrichtung, sondern der Dichtungsstrang tritt ohne äußere Verformung in die Endabschnitte 20,20' über.In all cases described remains in the region of the only local recesses of the sealing strip whose cross-sectional outer contour is obtained in the main. The clamping distance reduced recesses are formed in the illustrated embodiments in the U-leg 6, which outside the end portions 20,20 'adjacent to the sheet metal layer 11. It is therefore advantageous at the transition to the end portions 20,20 'not to offset the sealing strip transversely to the strand longitudinal direction, but the sealing strip occurs without external deformation in the end portions 20,20' on.

Es versteht sich, dass die Anzahl der Einformungen sowie ihre Ausdehnungen in Stranglängs- und Umfangsrichtung den Anforderungen des Anwendungsfalls entsprechend ausgewählt werden können.It is understood that the number of indentations and their extensions in strand longitudinal and circumferential direction can be selected according to the requirements of the application.
